Installation of the test equipment is expected to be completed in July 2021
The Millennium Development Authority (MiDA) has said it is will soon commission and hand over a new energy efficient testing laboratory for the Ghana Standards Authority (GSA).
The development comes after construction work on a Containment Building for a testing laboratory began in June 2020.
According to a statement issued by the authority and sighted by GhanaWeb, the facility will be completed by the end of March 2021, while the installation of the test equipment is expected to be completed in July 2021.
“The Test Laboratory will be the first of its kind in the West African Sub-Region and will conduct tests and offer services that will ensure that high energy-consuming electrical appliances, such as Air Conditioners and Refrigerators, imported into Ghana, meet the Minimum Energy Performance Standard (MEPS) set out in the Energy Commission’s Regulations,” the statement read.
The Deputy Energy Minister-Designate, William Owuraku Aidoo, is alleging that the courts are responsible for the failure of the State to retrieve some $200 million from the botched Power Distribution Services (PDS) deal.
“It is a subject of court, but the wheel of justice, unfortunately, turns to grind a little on the slow side. When the issues will be resolved, I am afraid I cannot sit here and say,” he explained when he appeared at the Appointments Committee of Parliament on Thursday, June 3.
After the fraudulent PDS collapsed a few years ago, the private consortium which had taken over the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) was supposed to repatriated funds collected while managing ECG, but that has not happened.
Residents in some parts of the Greater Accra Region will experience power outages from May 27 to June 11 due to the reconstruction of a section of GRIDCo rsquo;s transmission lines along the Winneba to Mallam stretch.
